Just heard on the radio that the veteran actor passed away at his Brentwood home at the age of 97. What a long life.! There was an earnestness about Malden
that I always found appealing even in his earliest film turns as a cop in BOOMERANG! and WHERE THE SIDEWALK ENDS. After STREETCAR and the Oscar, Malden was
branded as a distinguished character actor that was reinforced by ON THE WATERFRONT. He said in an interview if it wasn't for the Quinn Martin series, THE
STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO and the American Express commericials, he wouldn't have had enough to live on.
